We had a lovely time and will be back. The house and the
pool fit our needs perfectly.

Magnifico! The house was presented even better than we saw on
line! Enjoyed the secluded beach in the morning,
It was nice to get away from the normal fast life style in Ohio.
We were able to relax, enjoy the view and go out to the swimming pool
whenever we wanted. Be sure to get a massage! LuLu (Maria) was
fabulous!
Thank you for sharing this beautiful house with us. We will
return.

We had a super time. Wonderful pool, patio and view! The
weather was nice--beat the rains--so had nice hot days.
Beach glass heaven! Every morning,
there were new and wonderful treasures
along the shore.
We will come back

Great week! Don't want to go home! The Rancho Grande Los
Pinos ATV ride was well worth it. Dolphin Discovery at the
water park was great too! A must if you have kids.
We found a
perfect little Mexican town, "Pitiall" on the road that runs behind Sam's
Club. A lady sells tamales every evening across from the church.
Shopping was good there. Enjoy!

Casa de Tres Palmas has been a wonderful place to relax and rest.
One can choose the shops, restaurants or peace and quiet by the pool--or
just a few paces away--the beach. Love it!

Casa de Tres Palmas is a great place--we love it! Don't miss the
beach at San Francisco. We had a great time

We had a busy week at Casa de Tres Palmas and we definitely enjoyed the
house. The casa is attractive and very comfortable, quite and
relaxing with beautiful views. All the staff were exceptional.
We all enjoyed onsite massages.
We visited the beach at Destiladeras, ate
great tacos from Jorge’s, where the people were sooo nice! We walked
along the Malecon in Puerto Vallarta and the kids stayed out till 4:30 AM
enjoying the night life.
We went on a fishing, snorkeling and
beach tour to Los Arcos and Las Animas beach and we enjoyed the Vallarta
Adventures trip to Las Caletas.
We had a marvelous dinner at Mark’s
Restaurant in Bucerias where the food was as good as I’ve ever had. Other
good restaurants were Meson Bay and Hidden Paradise.
We recommend any of the many small
restaurants in Bucerias where we picked up 20-30 tacos for an easy dinner
for about $150 pesos. Most of all, we enjoyed the people of Bucerias and
La Cruz. We tried to use Spanish and they were always hospitable and
friendly. We would certainly like to come back.
Thanks to Marilyn for all her help making our stay so
enjoyable.

It is easy to get up for sunrise, about 7 AM. From a top the Norfolk
Pine, a small finch serenades us, joined in harmony by the waves breaking
on the shore.
As we sip our coffee, our hummingbird sips
his nectar from the red bougainvillea and midnight rose. Coffee refills
in hand, we then set out on our morning walk to La Manzanilla Beach. We
never actually make it there, always getting sidetracked by our shell
collecting. We bring our treasures back in our empty cups and discuss
them later during cocktail hour (which sometimes starts very early…)
One cannot dispute the superb quality of
Mexican cuisine. FRESH is the norm, so make sure you eat out a lot! Two
favorites were:
° Hidden Paradise, next door--left of Casa
de Tres Palmas--if facing the ocean, and Victor's Tacuba in Marina Vallarta – walk
around Marina almost to the end.
° If you are debating a massage, go for
it! HEAVEN.
° Horseback Riding at Rancho El Charro was
fun, the horses all beautiful, healthy and friendly. If you’ve NEVER
ridden I wouldn’t recommend it, but if you just haven’t ridden in thirty
years, like myself, I’d still recommend it.
° Ziplining – Canopy Tours de los Verenos
was our choice. The staff were all well-trained professionals yet still
maintained a light camaraderie throughout the session. Loads of fun, but
not recommended for the weak of heart.
° Shopping -- Don’t assume you’ll get
better deals from side street vendors. The shops in Neptuno Plaza, Marina
Vallarta and streets of Puerto Vallarta near the main street seem
generally to be good quality and fair prices.
**If you haggle, remember to keep it
FRIENDLY.
Many thanks for sharing your house with
us--what a wonderful stay we had! We’ve had such a relaxing vacation
here I know we will return!
We’ll end here, can you tell we had a
fantastic visit?

What a great place--we had a wonderful
vacation. The weather was beautiful and relaxing.
We arranged a wonderful 50th birthday party
for two of our group. The food was delicious and the 10 piece
mariachi band was so much fun.
Thank you for allowing us to stay in your
home and for sharing your paradise with us We'll be back!

We had a fantastic vacation at Casa de Tres Palmas.
The house was beautiful.
For me, it was the pool! I loved the pool! I couldn't get
enough of it. I was in it as much as possible. Swimming at
night was wonderful! the entire place was like a picture out of a
travel magazine. We couldn't have had it better.
We traveled to Wal-Mart
and Sam's for groceries. Other than that, we never went near Puerto
Vallarta. There was no need to do that. We visited Bucerias
and La Cruz. We thoroughly enjoyed Hidden Paradise around the bend.
All in all, the entire stay was low key, but that is what it was meant to
be.
Would we go again?
I certainly think so. I have already been giving information to
other people about the property. After hearing about out stay, they
want to look into it.....even the produce guy at our supermarket!
Thank you, Marilyn for all your help and
information you sent before we went on the trip. Everything given to
us to make our stay easier was of good use.
Thanks for letting us stay here. It has to
be one of the most beautiful and relaxing vacations we have ever
experienced.

We are all getting together tonight for a
"Night of the Iguana" dinner to relive our trip to Mexico! We had a
great time and enjoyed ourselves immensely. Nine days together, and
everyone is still speaking to each other! Yup--a good time was had
by all!
The house was everything it was described to
be. It actually was better than we expected! The restaurants
we enjoyed most were Carmelita's in La Cruz and Los Arcos in Sayulita.
We loved the beaches to the north, Sayulita, San Francisco and Los de
Marcos. We should have spent more time at the Sunday market in
Bucerias!
Gecko Rent a Car in Bucerias could not have
been better to us. They picked us up in Puerto Vallarta and took us
back to the airport at the end of our stay. No hassle paperwork and
friendly guys!
It
was pleasure to meet you (Marilyn) after all those e-mails (when you were
visiting another house at La Puntilla).
Thanks for a great trip!

We have found paradise here at Casa de Tres
Palmas. When we walked in the front door and looked out at the view,
we knew we were going to have a good time. A whole month in a place
like this will make for some lasting memories.
The friendly people and wonderful places to
eat make it a joy to get up and get going everyday. After being here
in this laze lifestyle with the incredible sunrises, its going to be hard
to go back to our snowy town. Enjoy!

We had a great time and we enjoyed being able
to just spend time at your lovely Casa de Tres Palmas. Our son and
daughter-in-law loved the Jungle Canopy experience—awesome!
The people here are so warm and friendly.
The staff made our stay much easier and more
enjoyable.
It was nice to have the pool as well as
Banderas Bay at our fingertips.

Well, we’re off to the cold weather. We will
sure miss this beautiful little Island we had. We sure enjoyed our stay
and everything was near us--fresh fruits and vegetables and fresh fish and
shrimp.
Again, we thank you for sharing your place
with us. Just like they say in Spanish, “Tu Casa, Mi Casa”

Outstanding! Fabulous! Supurb! Awesome!
Perfectamente! The house is beautiful, the patio, pool and beach are
spectacular.
For the past 10 days our family of eight has
been very comfortable at Casa de Tres Palmas. We have all explored and
experienced the multitude of wonders this lovely paradise had to offer.
Golf, massage, beachcombing, fine dining, etc. My personal favourite
things were the Sunrises!
We have had a special family retreat. Thanks
for making your home available to us.

We had a great time with lots to see and do in the
area. Great restaurant spots and the kids loved the pool.
We feasted on
seafood fresh off the boats in La Cruz!

We had a wonderful time. We went to Puerto
Vallarta and parasailed. Its was awesome! Hidden Paradise is a great
place to eat. Snorkeling was good, the water was clear but not many fish.
Thank you for much for letting us stay for a week.

Wow! What a find! This visit makes us want
to live here. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home. For
those who follow….Try Bernardo’s Restaurant. It is fantastic!
The Hidden Paradise down the beach is also a
great place.
Gracias to all who made this vacation special.

Thank you so much for sharing your home with
us. It had everything we wished for and much more! We felt so lucky to
find this place.
We explored both north and south of Puerto
Vallarta and found the people universally lovely and friendly, despite our
lack of Spanish.
The food was great, particularly the
restaurant just a few steps south—Hidden Paradise. We loved the
canopy tour! It will be hard to return to work.

Encontramos Paraiso!
What a wonderful way to experience
the local people and the culture. We took in La Cruz, Bucerias,
Puerto Vallarta, Manzanilla, Punta de Mita and Rincon de Guayabitos. In between we frequented the beach,
finding great shells on the two coves to the left and seeing lots of fish
while snorkeling in front of the house (didn't see any jellyfish
thought!). Truly a great place for a vacation.
Thank you for opening your home.
The Putnams
Austin TX

What a wonderful vacation!
The house, the location and the people have been fabulous. We took
many walks along the shore and several trips into La Cruz and Puerto
Vallarta. Thanks for recommending Tacos in the Street--we loved it!
We even went snorkeling right here off the shore. We saw many
different kinds of fish, but watch out for those little jellyfish.
We took lots of photos and
took in many thunder storms at night. A good time was had by all.

Hi, my name is Jessica Bokor and I just wanted to say I loved this house! The beach was
great, La Cruz was great and the pool was awesome. Although I was a little
scared to go into the ocean cuz of the jellyfish. But oh well! : )
Love, Jessica Bokor
Owner's Comment:
Jellyfish are rare in the Bay of Banderas, but they can appear in the
early summer.
